We consider the least-square linear regression problem with regularization by the 1-norm, a problem usually referred to as the Lasso. In this paper, we present a detailed asymptot...
It is important yet hard to identify navigational queries in Web search due to a lack of sufficient information in Web queries, which are typically very short. In this paper we st...
